Medieval Total war Gold (released in 2002) does not

When I try to start Medieval Total War he loads the film writing and then goes to the start screen, but it is a law for the promotion of Canadian artists before the main menu is loaded and I get a standard 'an error occurred' with the only option is to close the program. I tried the compatibility with Windows XP SP1, 2 & 3 and a solution posted here http://shoguntotalwar.yuku.com/topic/66766/How-to-run-Medieval-on-Windows-7.

Looking at the directory in virtual_store there is a report in a file called crash.txt who reads

Medieval_TW.exe caused an EXCEPTION_ACCESS_VIOLATION in the Medieval_TW.exe module in 0023:006DB038

  • Satellite P20 - 504 shutting down / crashing during playback of Medieval: Total War

    Salvation;

    I run a game program, (Medieval: Total War) that sporadically stops or freezes / crashes my laptop. Sometimes it works OK and sometimes it crashes.

    I think it might be a graphic driver problem nVidia, even if I run other programs of game with higher spec requirements.

    Is there any where on the Toshiba site, I can actually download new drivers? I searched the Toshiba site and found that there is some possible updates but no installation to actually achieve the download itself... confusing.

  • Microsoft Flight Simulator Gold Edition product key does not work.

    just bought microsoft flight sim gold Edition. I have flight sim X on my computer with acceleration. I uninstalled acceleration then transferred gold.everything was going well until I tried to inter the product key. I tried flight sim X pro, did not work. I then tried XP X Flight Simulator that has not worked.

    When I bought the Edition first however I did an installation and noticed that had not changed in aircraft or mission that is what brings me to uninstall and then try what I describe above. Now it seems that nothing works

    Thanks for the reply! It seems that the problem is that I tried to install the Excceleration provided with the Microsoft Flight Sim Gold Edition on top of the current edition. I called Microsoft customer service and gave access to a technician in India.  She went through my computer and worked on all issues.  Not to change the subject, but I was surpised at how all this worked compared to 20, more years ago, when I would call the customer support.  At the time could dial the number and a tech would answer the phone and will guide you through it.  Now we have forums, groups and telephone answering services that you must pass to speak to a technician. It was when Windows is first out with Gui and Win 3.1.  Thanks to Microsoft and after all these years, there are still the best, and their customer support is excellent.
